I'm half Mexican and grew up with the Looney Tunes. I never met another Mexican that hated Speedy Gonzalez, my father included. He used to wear the shirts in 90's. My father was born and raised in Guerrero, Mexico and they all love Speedy Gonzalez in the mother land. I still don't understand what the fuss is about in regards to Speedy being "offensive"
I think it has a lot to do with the "white guilt/white savior" complex among certain groups of people, especially those on Twitter. Most of the outrage that happens these days comes out of the cesspool that is Twitter. It's really annoying. I personally loved Speedy as a kid growing up in the 90s, as well as his cousin Slowpoke Rodríguez.
@@MrFarmer110 Cancel culture comes from people inventing a false "white guilt" complex to force on innocent people. We aren't buying it!

Some of that ilk consider white people learning a speaking Spanish "cultural appropriation". Never mind that Spanish is the language of the fuckin' "colonizers".
Speedy is a Hispanic HERO! He actually challenged stereotypes by being not only a protagonist, but FAST/INTELLIGENT and KIND! This was needed, especially during the late 50’s
Fluffy never fails to deliver such funny stories, I bet it was an honor to continue the legacy of Mel Blanc, the man of a thousand voices, fun fact: Mel Blanc grew up in a Hispanic neighborhood and spoke Spanish so well,thus he voiced Speedy Gonzalez flawlessly...
And Mel Blanc was Jewish, he had the most amazing voice for cartoons. I used to watch Mel Blanc when he was on The Jack Benny Show growing up. Always thought he was a funny guy. His son took over after his father passed away and he sounded a lot like his Dad. Gabriel nailed this one.
Susan Sanchez, you're absolutely right. I love his stories and voices. I love how he uses his stories for his jokes and he doesn't tell offensive jokes. He's my new favorite stand up comedian. Gabriel is fantastic
This is what I wish more Voice Actors would do, play the part but keep the integrity of the character. You don't have to change everything, tweaks here and there are fine but keep whoever you are playing true to what they are known for. Thank you Fluffy.
Haha, reminds me of the Sonic movies. I'm German, so the Sonic movies were dubbed in German of course. And instead of using someone appropriate for this important voice, they took a freaking RU-vidr, who SUCKS at the mic. Both movies I usually watch in English, both I have watched once in German and cringed myself through the whole ordeal. Oh and German Tails sucks too. In both cases, women do the voices. But the original Tails voice actress sounds perfectly like a boy, the other one...... sounds like a normal woman. Doesn't match........ And I don't think, there is any German Entertainer, who can compete with Fluffy about the voices. We have damn talented people, but Fluffy is his own league.
@@marcfuchs6938 That's just the thing with translating an original into another language, you hear the OG and think every other one is terrible you can only ever get so close same is the argument in the anime scene.
@@Sk1pZ_x You aren't wrong, and his voice fits Sonic, but he's simply nothing like skilled as a voice actor. He could be a good Sonic, if he had any experience. He doesn't, and everybody who has a sense of a good voice acting dislikes him as Sonic's voice. There was a true shit storm about this, but unlike the makers of the movie, who changed Sonic's design by demand, they didn't change Sonic's German voice actor by demand........
As a family of Brown people, I can agree with Gabe. Speedy is literally if not the top 5 maybe the top 3 cartoon character that my family loves especially my dad. My dad is a hardcore Speedy Gonzales fan ever since he lay eyes on him not only for the representation of us brown people, but he is also funny as well. If my dad ever heard about people trying to cancel Speedy, he isn't going to let it slide without have a fight.
Very white scandinavian here and Speedy is most definitely on my top 5 as well with a couple of the other Loonies as well. I think most of my family would come hunting if they cancelled Speedy.
@@painvillegaming4119 I hereby second your motion! This is not the first time that they tried to cancel Speedy. Cartoon Network tried because he was not "P.C." They underestimated how the Latino community responded to this!
I grew up with Speedy, loved that mouse, positivity,fun and an iconic voice. Fluffy did him proud, no change....amazing and the mouse I still love 58 years later. Love Fluffy too.
Helen, me too! Speedy, Bugs Bunny and Tom & Jerry were my favorites. I agree that Fluffy nailed it & it brought me right back to my early childhood. Gave me a warm happy feeling to hear Speedy.
Indeed. Speedy never went out of his way to antagonize someone unless they were threatening his amigos (as he would put it) or trying to make a meal out of him. Moreover, he didn't expect any compensation for helping others, and even while other mice were thanking him profusely for saving them, his response was, "Por nada, amigos! It's nothing!!"
My dad had heard that Chihuahuas were called "Mexican rats" from somewhere, and he called my two Chihuahuas The Rat Patrol. My boy's middle name was Gonzales after Speedy, because he was tiny when he was a puppy and he was wicked fast. Boy do I miss that dog...
As a fellow Mexican-American, (who doesn't like to get up early in the morning but we have to. So we do it real slowww) I am proud you are the voice of Speedy. Bringing smiles to people is truly noble work. Thank you for all you do. Respect, Fluffy
You can't out beat or out run the most classic character of all time! He was one of the very few characters who really caught my attention, and kept me glued to the screen laughing for hours. I'm white, but I have always adored Speedy Gonzales so much, and hearing you do his voice really made me smile.
I was told I had diabetes around age 32, It's truly a silent killer. I've been so depressed the last 2 days because I was told that my kidney function was less than my last visit, Gabriel's videos have helped me to laugh after hearing the news. It also helps to know that I'm not alone, knowing that you understand the struggle. Keep making us laugh Gabriel , your one of a kind!
I remember signing a petition to keep Speedy in the movie, then signed it twice once I found out Gabriel was doing the voice (had to make a 2nd email to do it lol.) Fluffy finally got an accolade from Dave, now THAT'S an achievement in itself.
as a mexican who has speedy as their favorite looney tune, you absolutely knocked it outta the park! one of my favorite vas of him along with fred armisen and of course, mel blanc
God love you, Gabriel. Thank you for standing up for Speedy. When you first did his voice, I got chills. Growing up, after school, I used to LOVE the Speedy Gonzales cartoons. You're the best man. Stay true.
Damn i didn't even knew you were in the film, and you did a damn good speedy, and not just because of the Mexican accent. Bravo on getting the role dude.
I was actually at this show at Dodger Stadium and he was HYSTERICAL !! And I just watched the special last night and MAN did it bring back vibes !! Love this man and he’s the reason I want to pursue comedy
They cast the perfect talent and didn't even know it. That's hysterically funny. And think about it. Mel Blanc originated and voiced all those characters, by himself, for decades practically until the day he died. What a talent that man was.
Kudos to Gabriel for reiterating that there’s a huge difference between cancelling Pepé and cancelling Speedy. Way too many people like to place all of cancel culture under the same umbrella rather than understanding that not everything is so one-note.
Personally I think pepe should get rejected in newer cartoons, as inappropriate, get that lady cat some weapons or backup. Empower the cat to reject pepe. ❤
I have the second Space Jam. I was happy to see Gabriel Iglesias as the voice of Speedy Gonzales. He brought me back so many memories of watching the original cartoons with Speedy in them. I wish we could have seen more Speedy in the movie.
I think a lot of kids from unhappy families loved Speedy and Tweetie Bird. The Coyote and Sylvester were adults to many of us and beating them at their own game entranced us and helped us laugh. Can’t wait to see you voice Speedy!
Gabriel needs to do a full Speedy Movie with Eric Bauza as Bugs, Daffy, Sylvester and Tweety and Jeff Bergman as Clarence the Cat and Billy West as Elmer Fudd.
Fluffy is in my heart, not because you think. But because he makes all of us Laugh. And in those crazy days... It's really good to listen something positive and funny. Peace Fluffy
Thank you for this, Gabriel. My adult children and I live very far apart but we send your clips back and forth and it's wonderful that we know each of us are laughing with the others. You're making a difference in my small world and that is a beautiful thing.
Aloha Fluffy! I hope that I can meet you one day here in Honolulu, HI 🤙🏽 Also I'm so proud that you are voicing Speedy Gonzalez!!! Love Looney Tunes when I was a kid. Thank you for always bringing laughter into our day! 🙌🏽🔥🔥🔥
You don't know Gabriel, but here in Italy a lot of boys grew up with Speedy Gonzales and many other American cartoon, expecially in the '70 of last century. Thanks for your shows all latin people are agree with you. Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹. Ciao.
Fluffy I think Mr blank would be pleased. The man who originally landed his voice for the character of Speedy Gonzales. By the way it doesn't surprise me that fluffy could do nearly any voiceover he wished to do, and it doesn't have to be any foreign language. He's great with dialects of all kinds. I wish they would use him in a new Aladdin movie, and any other Disney character. I believe he can do anyone he chooses.
Yesssssss! The best comedian going today! He's in that same elite comedian class as George Lopez and Paul Rodriguez. Always has me in stiches lmao 🤣🤣🤣. You go FLUFFY!
Fluffy has that awesome way to end the story after telling it. Very few people know how to do that. You have that story where it just doesn't end and you want to listen until it gets boring. But Fluffy knows how to deliver that one mega funny point that ends the story perfectly 7:12
Idk if this amazing man will ever see this but I loved the new special and just wanna let you know that you're an awesome person and just keep doing you!!!!!
Happy Monday, Gabriel. Thanks for posting this video and congrats to being the new voice to Speedy. He is one of my favorite characters of the Looney Tunes gang. I like him because he is funny and the comedy of the cartoon, not because of the culture that he represents. In my opinion, the old cartoons from back then were funny and the comedy with them were great, but now people blow it all out of wack because of something they don't like in the cartoon. Which I think is crazy and seems very stupid as well. But everyone is different and have the right to think the way they do.
Watching his special on Netflix he keeps on going and sometimes I wish these clips were a little bit longer because he's such a great actor it's awesome
That's just magnificent. Really funny story and a hilarious ending to boot. Classic Gabriel. I guess I learned a bit or two about the new Speedy Gonzales that I didn't know as well. #TIL #SpeedyGonzales
Thanks for a fun post. You did great on the voice of Speedy Gonzalez. I think Mel Blanc may have been just a tiny bit faster, but the actual sound of the voice sounded the same. There are several cartoon characters that are on my favorites list, and Speedy Gonzalez is one of them.
Fluffy you are awesome and thank you so much for standing up for speedy Gonzalez and keeping this iconic cartoon as original as possible great work and great video👍🏼💪🏼🤩❤️
No way! You were Speedy Gonzales? I may have to watch the movie now! See, I knew there was some controversy surrounding the movie, but I never knew it had anything to do with Speedy Gonzales or Pepè Le Pew. I thought it was just about Lola Bunny and her being given a… “slight” redesign, which didn’t go over well with fans of the original movie and character.
